This has been reported before, and yes, it's a little bewildering;
but it makes perfect sense if you realize that you're calling a Java
method "getSymbol" which returns a String to Java. A future Jess
release should add some Userfunctions that deal with queries from a
Jess language perspective.
You can convert anything to a symbol with the "sym-cat" function.

Consider the following jess code:
(deftemplate c_test1

)
(assert (c_test1 (idtag id1)))
Now, I'm trying to access the idtag slot via the following query:
(defquery get-id (WFACT::c_test1 (idtag ?id)))
The problem that I'm seing is that run-query* returns a string, and
not a symbol, which
causes matching problems.
(bind ?res (run-query* get-id))
(?res next)
(bind ?d (?res getSymbol id))
You'd think that ?d is a symbol, but it turns out being a String.
I'm using Jess70p1.
